Jacob Sims

To his own history it’s been a long road, but to the martial arts world his story is quite short. At age three a small boy named Jacob started studying karate from his father, who sadly passed away in September 2000. But before that tragedy happened his father took him to a friend’s dojo in 1998. From there he would grow to be the best student his instructor had ever seen. His instructor Rocky taught him well for less than a year before he entered in the K.I.K.S. tournament in 1999. Rocky thought he was ready to face what lay ahead, and he was right to think so. That year, as a mere yellow belt, he placed 3rd in the tournament. At the time he was seven years old. Everyone was very impressed, especially since it was his first tournament ever. Then, to amaze everyone further, he was entered in the district championship later that year, and placed second. This achievement would soon lead to his uprising in the martial arts world. In the early months in 2000 Jacob went to the state finals. He ranked 2nd. By a mere 1 point he lost first, but he was justified by saying “in do time I will have it.” What he did not know is that chance would lead to resignation in the sport. At the age of 11, his time had come. He held second place for almost five years until the end of 2004, when everyone thought he would take the title for sure. In the four years leading up to the now well known fight, his status grew to great heights within the martial arts community. Although he was a low degree black belt, he was considered to be of a very high degree by almost everyone who saw him fight. Metals, tournaments, awards, possible records, and great respect fell at his feet. Everyone told him last time he should have won for sure, but this time everyone knew, without a doubt, that he would take it this time. Even his opponent knew his place would soon and swiftly be taken. Everyone’s anticipation was building; over one thousand people were believed to have been there. Then a few days before the fight Jacobs’s vision was badly hurt by unknown circumstances at his celebration party. But he went ahead with the fight anyway, the worst decision he could have made. Jacob was defeated somewhat badly, and would in the course of this add insult to injury. In the second or third round, Jacob took a bad blow to his lower back, which further led to his defeat. Only two days after this event, he went to reclaim his second place title, but was still too badly injured to reclaim it. He shortly there after fell from sight at the tournaments, and was soon forgotten by most. He faded in and out for a few years, then he just disappeared. He was said to be one of the most promising kids of his time, but for some of us, we're still awaiting his much anticipated return. I believe he has started a comeback; I heard about a puleimonary round with him in it earlier this month. Sadly, he was disqualified for breaking his opponent’s knee.
